I started this topic so as not to step on Ken Gilkeson's thread on his beautiful Cobra. You should check it out! He used the hardtop that came with the AMT kit which started me wondering if anyone has produced a version of the LeMans top Shelby used on their 1:1 cars.The profiles on the two are so different I don't think it would be an easy conversion.

Wow, I love the hardtop in Bills reply.

I wonder if the HRM hard top would fit on a Monogram Cobra kit?

It would be easier to adapt it to the Sunny/ Academy / Minicraft 427 Cobra as its 1/25 scale like the trans-kit.  The Revell / Monogram kit is 1/24 scale so the hardtop would have to be widened to fit properly.

Good point,  Too bad I already have the Revell one.

Welp, I'm no stranger to slice&dice :)

I sent an email to HRM, hope they can sell me just the hard top.
